On the first official day of NBA free agency, it appears the Boston Celtics have lost out on the opportunity to re-sign Evan Turner. According to an ESPN report, the versatile forward has agreed to a four-year, $75 million deal with the Portland Trail Blazers.

Boston does have money to spend this summer and Turner had showed interest in returning to the C's if a deal could be worked out. The money he got, however, was probably well out of the range Boston would have wanted to go for him.

While Turner is well adept at playing both ends of the floor and had the potential to score with the best of them each night, His role on the team, to Boston GM Danny Ainge, most likely didn't warrant $75 million dollars guaranteed.
